It did not come as a surprise to the world, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Bahrain classified 59 individuals and 12 organizations as terrorist entities. These individuals and organizations had clear links with Qatar, testing the patience of the countries affected by its deceitful practices. In the days to come, the boycotting countries are expected to further tighten their embargo to prevail upon Doha to correct its mistakes that threaten Arab unity. The boycott measures are expected to make Doha expel members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, close down its Al-Jazeera channel, distance itself from Iran, and stop interfering in the internal affairs of the Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Qatar's name had frequently cropped up through the Al-Jazeera channel at the time of, what came to be known as, the Arab Spring. It was a time when it worked as a sharp knife that cut out the Arab countries from their closest kin, such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Everyone knows Qatar's involvement in the assassination bid against King Abdullah in 2003 when he was crown prince. Its attempts to ignite revolt in Manama are also well known. Bahrain TV recently produced clear evidence of this fact when it broadcast telephone conversations between Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Attiyah, an advisor of the Qatari Emir, and Hassan Sultan, a fugitive terrorist. The conversation between the two exposed their conspiracy to create chaos in Bahrain and then broadcast it on Al-Jazeera. The Shoura Council had strongly condemned the interference of the Qatari regime in the policies of Bahrain and its direct coordination with terrorists during the incidents of 2011 to destabilize it. This was proved by the documents and audio recordings which were aired. This confirms that there was a Qatari-Iranian joint agenda to target Bahrain by triggering provocative acts that undermine its security. Qatar's objectives were too big for a country its size – a fact that is failed to comprehend and continued pursuing without realizing its consequences. It focused on conspiracies against its Gulf neighbors, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and more recently in Djibouti from where it withdrew its military which was deployed there. The military forces in Djibouti were deployed there under an agreement between the two countries as part of efforts to bring about a solution to the border dispute with Eritrea. Many wondered what Doha wanted to really achieve by its wayward behavior. It played a part in inciting the Egyptian people who eventually toppled Hosni Mubarak on January 25, 2011, and later the Libyan revolution against Muammar Gaddafi on February 25 in the same year. In the case of Syria, Qatar it did not toe the larger Arab line which supported the Syrian opposition. Instead, it entered the fray through the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood whose leaders are known admirers of Iran's supreme leader. Qatar has even been working against the mainstream Syrian opposition. Iyad Allawi, Iraqi Vice President, recently revealed at a press conference in Cairo that Qatar had adopted a plan espoused by Iran to have two separate regions for Sunnis and Shias in Iraq. It was instigating the Sunnis and Shias against the Iraqi state. Allawi expressed his surprise as to why Arab countries were silent about Qatar's dubious activities.
